Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2020Ĭome Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuire New release you haven’t read yet, but want to And for once I’m surprisingly still pretty on track for hitting my goal for the year! So here’s a little round up of the first half of 2020! Best book you’ve read so far in 2020 Moving and uplifting, here is a beautifully written novel about the bonds we are born into and those we create for ourselves-and of the strength that comes in loving without limits.I’m running a little bit late with this tag but I absolutely had to do it! I’ve been having such a fantastic reading year and, while I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately, I’ve read so many wonderful books already. It's a revelation that will come sooner than any of them expected, when devastating news shakes the foundation of their tenuous sisterhood. Still, Rue is determined that Heidi, like all their guests, finds the farm a safe place to discover-or remember-what really matters. Soon, Sassy Spinster Farm is turned upside down by Heidi's complicated presence. Technically, they were once sisters, and to Rue, sisterhood is forever. Why else would she return to the place she was dragged to, kicking and screaming, as a teenager? A place she was thrilled to leave when, three years later, she and her mother bolted, leaving Rue and Laura's father heartbroken? But while Laura is irate, Rue won't turn Heidi away. Heidi Bogue, onetime stepsister to Rue and Laura, is back, and she's hiding from something.

It's not easy, but together, it seems there's nothing the two can't handle-until an unexpected, and not entirely welcome guest shows up in the middle of one warm summer night.

And it's where Rue is raising her pre-teen daughter on her own-while trying to keep her outspoken sister in check. It's where guests flock to get their hands dirty and taste food fresh from the garden. At least, that's what it's become since Rue Anderson and her sister Laura transformed their childhood Texas homestead into a successful tourist destination. In her poignant debut, Elizabeth Bass explores the lengths one cobbled-together family will go to for each other, and the power of a connection that never fades.Sassy Spinster Farm is a place to find solace. Few things are as lasting as the bond between sisters.
